Comment (by deryni):

 Actually, XMPP did not (until very recently) really support invisibility
 in a way that anyone thought was appropriate or useful. The Google web
 client uses a Google specific invisibility feature that pidgin will not
 (and I believe can not reasonably) support. I do plan on attempting to
 support the new official invisibility XMPP proposal but seeing as I how I
 never use invisibility I am not particularly motivated to do so and as
 such have not made it a priority. People are welcome to attempt to write
 the code before I get to it, and I am always open for questions about how
 to do it. Lastly, even if support for invisibility were implemented
 according to spec it likely would not work for Google Talk.

 Sean, I'm leaving this assigned to you since this seems to be a specific
 Google Talk request, feel free to reassign it to me if you think this
 should be a generic XMPP invisibility request instead.
